The Tora Bora is a peaceful meeting of pure Pakistani and pure
Afghani.
This cross of two legendary indicas results in a great stash of
bluish-green knockout nuggs for the high tolerance smoker.
The award-winning LA Confidential mother strain originated
from an Affie clone. She is known for being a dark, dank green
plant that grows slowly in vegetative phase and produces
modest per-plant yields of connoisseur, heavy Kush favored
indica tastiness. The Pakistani X-18 father is an early
stretching plant that slows to a more indica pattern in
flowering and finishes with chunky pungent blue-hued nuggets.
Both parent plants are known as strong medicinal indicas with
a history of relieving pain and helping patients with insomnia.
The combination of the two results in a vigorous, fast finishing
plant that is crystal coated with good medicine.
Average yields of the Tora Bora improve on the mother and
make this variety a good candidate for small gardens as well as
larger grows. This is a plant for the indica flavor fan, and to
bring out the most, soil and organics deliver better flavor
intensity. The Tora Bora plant has the typical wide, dark foliage
of an indica and forms one main cola, with average side
branching. Pinching or topping will help with yields. This plant
can handle cold weather as long as there is no frost. Final
heights will only be about 1½ times the height at flower
forcing, so breeders recommend these plants vegetate for as
long as possible to help beef up size and yield. Tora Bora will
gobble up nutrients like a fat lady at an all-you-can-eat buffet.
She isn’t particularly sensitive about nutrient levels and is
fairly forgiving, making her a good strain for a novice grower to
learn on. However, the potent indica punch of the final product
may make this strain more intriguing for medicinal indica users
or veteran indica smokers who know they want big body stone
effects.
The smell of the Tora Bora is not overwhelming when it is
growing, but the buds get so Velcro-sticky with resin that even
barely brushing against one will superglue down arm hair, and
release aromas as you tug free. Tora Bora delivers a pleasing
yield of greenish-blue and hashy-sweet indica depth. This strain
will bring on a strong body relaxation and may cause some
conspicuous eye droop. Medicinally, it is good for insomnia.
